You touched so many lives
You brought happiness
A friend and yet so much more
Made me a different person
Caring for others both human and canine
You were my soul
You changed my life
And now you’re gone

But not to me
You live on
In every dog I help
In every word I speak
In every breath I take

Can’t call you a friend
You were so much more than that
My inspiration
Can’t believe I won’t see you again
But in the loving eyes of every animal I help
I see the gratitude within
And forever more I will carry on
Knowing you has made my life complete

So my dear soul mate Linda
I say goodbye with a tear
But I know that you have found a special place
Where dogs surround you, love you, comfort you
For they know what I know
You are and always will be one in a million
